Suppose I run git clone https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit cd gerrit git checkout 5cf89bc928f2efe08d2ab6c29d0ef5a717aac8ac echo hi >plugins/commit-message-length-validator/greeting cd plugins/commit-message-length-validator and then (a) git add . or (b) git add * In case (a), "git add" exits with zero status, nothing is added, and there is no message. In case (b), I get fatal: Path 'plugins/commit-message-length-validator/greeting' is \ in submodule 'plugins/commit-message-length-validator' I would have expected something like fatal: submodule 'plugins/commit-message-length-validator' is not \ populated so I cannot add 'greeting' there Reported by Pilif12p on #git, analysis by m0viefreak. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
